Usage: The Hebrew word "nekas" refers to tangible assets or wealth, often in the form of property or possessions. It is used to denote material wealth that can be accumulated, owned, and transferred. In the biblical context, it often signifies the blessings of material prosperity granted by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, wealth was often measured by the amount of land, livestock, and other tangible assets one possessed. Property was a sign of God's blessing and favor, and it played a crucial role in the social and economic structure of the community. The accumulation of wealth was seen as a means to provide for one's family and to contribute to the community's well-being. However, the Hebrew Scriptures also emphasize the importance of using wealth responsibly and justly, warning against greed and the exploitation of others.
